Want to study engineering in a slightly different way? Have you heard about the RoboAI Academy, where you can study in a very hands-on way? The RoboAI Academy information session will take place on Thursday March 24 and the application for the group starting in autumn 2026 is open from March 24 to April 12!

Hands-on learning through projects

At the RoboAI Academy, learning happens through hands-on projects rather than traditional lectures and exercises. Project topics come directly from companies and research projects. The aim is always to come up with a workable solution that meets the customer's needs. The end result may be a technology knowledge package, an example of a robot application or an AI solution for a company, a production simulation or experimental information on the possibilities for modernising a production cell.

RoboAI Academy underwent a transformation in spring 2024, expanding into fields like artificial intelligence, data analytics, and programming. This change provides students with opportunities for interdisciplinary learning. Additionally, the student intake was increased, and English was adopted as a second primary language, fostering international collaboration and enhancing professional skills.
